Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 712-714 Arguello Boulevard in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Arguello Blvd Trust, has a documented history dating back to 1998. The property, built in 1900, has undergone several significant repairs and maintenance work over the years, including multiple roofing projects (most recently in 2004 at a cost of $7,000), staircase repairs, and window work. A series of violations were documented in 2004, including unpermitted electrical work, missing smoke detectors, and gas utility shutoff concerns, which were all addressed and abated by August 2005. More recent concerns from July 2023 indicate a potential illegal dwelling unit at 714A, which is currently listed as commercial space according to the assessor's records.

The building has experienced several maintenance issues over time, including water-related problems with mold and leakage reported in 2004, and unauthorized deck construction in late 2003. Multiple routine inspections and complaints between 2001 and 2004 revealed various safety and maintenance concerns that were subsequently resolved. The property has been subject to regular urban infrastructure challenges typical of its location, with recent 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk defects and various parking issues nearby. While the building has faced multiple regulatory and maintenance challenges over its history, the owner has generally addressed violations and maintenance needs when they arise, with most historical complaints showing a resolution as of 2005 or earlier.

Risk rating

How 712-714 Arguello Blvd's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
